I have acid reflux my doctor recommended neil med sinus rinse but it does not work and a nose spray what to do have a lot of excessive mucus.

Anti-acid: If the reflux is causing your throat clearing, irrigating the nose or sinus would not do anything. You will need to control the reflux by adapting lifestyle changes (avoid coffee/tea/alcohol, eat small meals, avoid fatty/acid foods, sleep on wedge with 4-6 inch elevation, no food/drink at least 2 hrs before bedtime. It is likely that you will need to take a protein pump inhibitor. See GI doc?

A ENT doc has found dry crusty mucus all the way behind my nasal wall and got put to be doing neilmed sinus rinses. How many tries will it take to get that stuff out? Will exercising before doing it make it come out easier? cuz one nostril is clogged?
Can it be silent reflux? Post nasal drip and feeling like the throat (whole neck area) is expanded. Nasal spray, sinus rinse & omeprazole do not help.
